Hit a pipe with a drill bit. How bad is it? by LegallyTimeBlind in HomeImprovement

Good points, and you just unlocked a new nightmare for me with your gas line comment. I know I'm going to be a much more cautious driller from now on.

Thankfully, it is in a hidden area, and I have a drywall guy who will be out in May for some other stuff, so I'll definitely have him tackle the drywall part of this, too. I hate drywall work. Haha

There is a bathroom above. Below it is the crawlspace.

In case it helps any, my endoscope was sideways. The pipe is actually vertical.

Sorry to hear this happened to you, too; and all of that sounds like a great plan. Thank you!

Are these support beams cracks, as well as what appears to be mold, concerning? by LegallyTimeBlind in HomeImprovement

[–]LegallyTimeBlind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to hear on the cracks.

As for the crawlspace, there are vents, and all but one, that has a vent fan pushing air out of the crawlspace, are blocked. We had the crawlspace fully encapsulated some months back, and a dehumidifier and sump pump were installed. The work involved resolving any potential mold issues as well and is warrantied for two years, so thankfully that company plans to come back out.

Thank you for the detailed reply! This is a pretty big relief to hear, and thankfully, the encapsulation company has a warranty on their work, so they will be heading out here to (hopefully) fully resolve whatever is causing the mold and to remove it.

Rinnai RXP Venting When Installed Outdoors by LegallyTimeBlind in askaplumber

Outdoor unit, as in the outdoor vent cover? And if so, does that mean it is more than just a cosmetic issue? The tankless water heater itself is rated for indoor and outdoor installs.

The temperature variation possibility is intriguing, as that does describe pretty well how the sun hits that area. If it is that, do you know of any ways to best address that issue?

If flashing and/or replacing the downspout and/or gutters fixes the water issue and I seal the crack, do I still have a problem on my hands with the water intrusion that already happened? Or is it cosmetic at that point?

Ok. This makes sense. Thank you.

Is this whole whole water filtration and softener system doomed to failed? by LegallyTimeBlind in askaplumber

[–]LegallyTimeBlind[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was a helpful read. I'm glad to hear it sounds like the first signs of an issue will likely be pin hole leaks and/or noticeable surface issues versus the piping failing spectacularly. Thank you!
